365 Pink Feather Boas All in a Row - Day 132 : The Flower is Decaying...Much Like My Career

I would like to say I am not sure what's wrong with me at the moment but I know.

The thing is admitting to yourself that you're deeply unhappy with one aspect of your life isn't easy when so much else about your life is wonderful. I mean, I have the partner I always dreamed of having (in fact far lovelier), friends I cherish, a great house mate and apartment, and a range of interests I love following.

This is the flower shown in a blog entry last week when it was fresh and vital. Now, not so much.....

So I should be blissfully happy right? Yet I am not entirely and it's because my job, and by extension, my career, are no where where I wanted them to be, and certainly don't take into account my creative abilities, specifcially my writing. I am trying to fix things by seeing my career counsellor, and sculpting a plan to get to the job I really want, but even with that happening, I am, as always, reacting emotionally regardless of the facts at hand.

Today wasn't a good day at work but was made infinitely better by the arrival home of my darling man from Bathurst and dinner at Happy Chef Chinese on King Street. Its nice when things have a happy ending.
